Jay is the most overrated, not just rapper, but artist in music history imo. He gets mentioned as the GOAT and its just baffling to me lmao. Dude is a poor mans Biggie..had 15+ years on the man and still hasn't even come close to having as many hits/iconic songs as BIG has.
Was never the top guy in rap. EVER. Pac and BIG ran the mid 90s. When both died, Diddy ran NY. To the point Jay had to copy his style/videos to try to get numbers like Diddy and the Bad Boy crew. 50 and Em were bigger than him in the early 00s(though he was firmly #3).
Ye and Wayne were bigger than him mid to late 00's. Got destroyed by Nas. Said autotune was going to die, only for it to get bigger than ever after DOA
His biggest hit ever was Empire in 09...which, let's be honest...was an Alicia song that Jay added sleepy ass verses on. Without her, song is nothing. NYC old heads act like he was 20 iconic hits lol na bruh. He has more street hits than actual hits.
Ye saved his career if we're being real. And Jay is a smart man. Watch him jump back on the Ye wagon now that he's back to being beloved. WTT2 2022. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
not good
at all
To you. I like it. I think it only gets hate cause people overhyped the fast part.
The thing is IT WAS A HIT and it was also a SOLO hit
In the United States and the United Kingdom, a single is usually considered a hit when it reaches the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 or the top 75 of the UK Singles Chart and stays there for at least one week.
so freestyle not a hit? got it.
so songs that chart for 1 week are hits?
ktt still don’t understand versus lmaooo
black people can like a song more than it’s billboard chart position
chart enthusiasts not gonna like this one
The type of people to care about chart numbers would care about review scores too if this site didn't already look down on that.
also, Jay Z has only dropped 3 solo albums since 2009. BP3 had NY State Of Mind. MCHG had Holy Grail. 4:44 had SoOJ (anything charting top 40 is a hit)
op just trolling
Peaked at #28, if I recall correctly.
That's not a hit.
top 40 is a hit dumbass
rap didn’t chart well most of the time until like 2016
op must be 14 years old
Lol, okay.
Like Tony Yayo didn't go multi-platinum
